Thanks for the blog Anand. Feels like it should scroll the other way though; so when you read the screen doesn't keep jumping on you. Have oldest content at the top like a normal website. The part at the top was written before the stuff on the bottom :)Reply

Agreed, it's very frustrating to read when the screen keeps jumping around on you and you have to scroll downwards again just to fine your place every 15 seconds or so.It's also rather unintuitive to read from the bottom upwards.Reply

I really hope that the auto-app update in IOS7 is not forced. I know there are some apps that I don't want to update. In fact, I would appreciate if they added a button for skip update/hide update like Windows updates do.

I know one app in particular I don't want updated is AVplayer HD. When I bought it, it had support for Ac3, DTS, etc, and slowly the codec support is going away. So I have refused the last several updates, to retain the codec support I want.

I have not found a good video app for the Ipad that has hardware acceleration and still actually supports all of the popular codecs. Its such a nagging issue that I am considering jailbreaking the Ipad2 to run VLC or switch over to an Android tablet when I need a new tablet. Reply

Of all the things in the keynote it may seem a little silly, but I am pretty excited/curious about the new form factor for the Mac Pro. The design really reminds me of some rather old articles about the 'future of computing' where PCs would eventually become modular, making upgrades of your core (CPU, RAM, program storage), GPU, mass storage, and other drives separate purchases. I guess what we do not know yet is what the expansion kits will look like. If they will be their own individual silos, or if the whole setup will be stack able.

Also, I find it interesting that Apple's stock rode high through the keynote, and is currently tanking afterwards, while MS's stock tanked during their keynote but has now recovered most of it's losses. I find that most interesting as I found apple's keynote to be pretty good with a lot of unexpected additions, while MS's was predictable and boring.

Lastly, iOS7 seems to be extremely reactionary to WP. Theres a lot of WP features in there that they snuk in, which I find very interesting as WP is really not in a competitive position yet. The WP team had better keep up with their 3-4 month GDR updates for a good long time to keep the pressure on iOS and Android, otherwise they will just be the company that brings up the good ideas that the others copy and perfect.Reply
